ABSTRACT:
On receiving a message in a communications device, a sender or destination network address is checked to determine whether the network address is intended for address conversion. In cases in which the network address is intended for address conversion, a received virtual destination network address is converted to a communications-device-internal destination network address, or a received communications-device-internal sender network address is converted to a virtual sender network address.
